- Funny Stories
A man went shooting with an old fashioned gun. He was filling the gun with a ramrod. A wild duck flew out of a river. He got so excited that he fired the ramrod at it. The duck fell into the river and the ramrod stuck in a salmon. When he fired the shot the gun "kicked" his shoulder and he sat on a furze bush. There was a hare under the bush and he killed it. So with one shot he killed a hare, a wild duck and a salmon.
- A man was eating haws near the River Maine one day. When he used to have haw eaten he used to blow the stone from his mouth. Once he blew one into a salmon's eye. After seven years the salmon came back and a whitethorn bush growing out of it.
